This is one of these irritating minor things....
I'm trying to place an image at the center of my desktop and use a
plan color as background. For some reaseon the desktop settings
gizmo refuses to do this and instaed splashes the image either all
over the desktop or repeats it like tiles. Anyone has the
sligthest idea how to kick the desktop app in the balls? I'm on a
Quicksilver running X.5

All i can think of is to open an image editor and make an image the
same size as the monitor (resolution), fill it with the color you
want, and copy/paste the image into the center.
Didn't work for me.
If I use Graphic Converter, can I make all the pix in my pictures
folder the right size to fit my desktop?
You shouldn't need to do all that.
System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Desktop > Choose Folder
Where Your Valid Images Are, Select Center and then click on the
color selection box > Choose Your "Plan" Color ...
That should be it ...
You then have to wait for it to change pictures one time before it
becomes active ... or maybe Logout and Log back in ...
If don't have admin rights, maybe you cannot do that ... but I don't
think that's it. Maybe someone else can help ...
